Hello people, I am new here and I have a question that I hope you can help me solve it. It is as follows: I wanted to buy an Amd Ryzen 7 1700 that I saw on offer and wanted to use a motherboard with B450 chipset, specifically this model https://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/B450M%20Steel%20Legend/index.asp it would be possible to use this waythese two components directly without the need to update BIOS or need to update it to be able to use that micro of 1gen with a mother of 2gen. Of course I appreciate the possibility of consultingthis question here and if someone can solve this question I appreciate it. Thank you!

with a b450 board you DONT NEED to upgrade Bios for a Ryzen 7 1700 yet you should consider buying a Ryzen 7 2700 - because of XFR2 and PrecisionBoostespecially because a Ryzen+ (NOT first Ryzen) can hit 4.2GHz "pretty easy" with a decent cooling

Thanks for the quick reply! I will take it into account, and there is a question, in newegg the ryzen 7 1700 is downgraded to 169, while the 2700 is about 259 usd, it would be worth the use of XFR2 and PrecisionBoost and the temperature issue also I thought.
